After a total of about six months, my wife and I found our only little piece of Chicago to call our own. Closing went smoothly and we were able to move in right away.
Prior to moving in, we did a few renovations. We knocked down a wall, re did the floors, put up a back splash in the kitchen, painted, changed out fixtures, and put up wonderful blinds. All of this just a month prior to our wedding.
Both of us were very proactive prior to move in day. On move in day we had cable, internet, new furniture delivered, and all of our belongings in less than 24 hours. This would not have been possible with out my wonderful wife, my family, and my friends.

I hope this blog was able to help a few folks navigate the home buying process. Feel free to reach out via comments. I will no longer post to this blog, but please follow my new
DIY blog. I plan on posting various projects that my wife and I complete.
